Environmental Dept. Logo

 

The Department of Environmental Affairs is responsible for the following federally-mandated programs: (1) Industrial Pretreatment Program which regulates industrial discharges to the Parish sewerage treatment system; (2) Stormwater Management Program which through public education and regulations strives to reduce pollutants entering Lake Pontchartrain and the Barataria Basin via our storm drainage system; (3) Underground Storage Tank Compliance Program which will result in all Parish-owned USTs being in compliance with federal and state regulations by the December 1998 deadline; as well as the federally-approved (4) Coastal Zone Management Program which regulates certain uses within the coastal zone and also develops seeks funding for and implements coastal protection/restoration projects.

 

In addition to these four major programs we respond to all citizen complaints/inquiries of an environmental nature and provide field investigation and research to advise Parish Administration Council municipalities and towns on matters related to the environment. We assist all Parish departments and agencies in maintaining overall compliance with federal state and local environmental regulations as well as review and advise on proposed commercial and industrial development in Jefferson Parish. Some of the areas we deal with include: air quality solid waste hazardous waste recycling water quality groundwater coastal restoration noise and wildlife management.
